1.¨ Intense eyes¨ when your partner fails to look away politely
2. ¨pleasure principle" when your partner gets away with things and they enjoy it, get that rush.
3. ¨being superficially charming¨ your partner does anything charming only to get what they want
4. ¨Not believers to societies norms¨ Breaks a lot of the laws and disagrees with societies ways of life.
5. ¨Keeping the circle small¨ your partner has a few friends or they all connect by association.
6. ¨extreme behavior or iressponisble¨ act brazy or cannot be responsible for paying for things or people.
7. ¨staying calm in difficult siuations¨ sociopaths stay calm in a difficult time such as car accidents or other bigger issues that have someone become scared or angry.

9. ¨lies and manlipulating¨ when your partner is
10. ¨big ego¨ thinks he looks good and wants to have a say in how you look.
11. ¨showing remorse" does not care and never seems to feel sorry.
I don't know if all of these things would make your significan other fall under that category. Many times people have "big egos" and it is a part of who they are. They were raised to be confident. And some people do enjoy, having a small group of people has friends. Adds to less drama for sure. So I would argue that these are all signs of a sociopath.
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy, sometimes you don't know what type of people you are around and what they can be. This can really help see what type of people are around us but the truth is that I'm not sure this can help you unless you are really close to the person that you think is a sociopath because finding out requires studying the person and if you aren't close to the person then its less likely to figure out whos a sociopath.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see this list. Many of the characteristics that are listed tend to apply to a large majority of people, so it sort of puts into perspective how a almost anyone can display signs of sociopathic behavior.
ReplyDeleteI think the problem with a list like this, as others have mentioned, is that a lot of people can probably identify with at least one or two of these characteristics, and that doesn't mean we're sociopaths. I'd argue that lists like these can mislead people into thinking that themselves or others are sociopaths because they fit into some of these characteristics, since people have a tendency to just focus on things that prove their established line of thinking, instead of looking at the bigger picture and seeing the evidence to the contrary.
ReplyDeleteI think lists like these have the best intentions, but people should always take these with a grain of salt and try not to go down the rabbit hole of believing only the things that prove what they already think.
I find it interesting to read these things. I believe a lot of people may have a couple of these tendencies, however, if all applied to someone that would be a clear sign that they are a sociopath.
